Growcap - The simple way to maintain you aquarium!
Algae-problem? Plants don't grow? Something wrong with the water?
To prevent your aquarium from any of these problems, you need to establish an ecological balance in your aquarium.
How do you establish an ecological balance?
In order to establish an ecological balance in your aquarium you will need not only aquatic plants and fish. Essential for a good balance are the bacteria. Bacteria are very small microorganisms, that transform the leavings of the fish into nutrision, that can be absorbed by the plants. That leads to healthy and growing plants. And of course clean water with hardly any algae.
How do you get the bacteria in your aquarium?
Simply use our new product: The Growcap!
All essential bacteria can be found in the Growcaps. Simply use a bag of Growcaps according to the size of your aquarium and put all Growcaps in the soil or grit. The Growcaps work for about 10 weeks and will release all components over that time. Within 10 weeks the Growcaps will be desolved completly, because they are made of a biodestructible material.
After the 10 weeks you simply put new Growcaps in the soil or grit.
How do the bacteria work?
It is simply genius!
In the picture above you can see that the bacteria are "sleeping" in the growcap. When the growcap gets in contact with water it will break. The bacteria will be released and will bring the first nutrients to the roots of the plant. The plant roots absorb the nutrients and the plant will grow beautifully. The plant and the bacteria live in what is called symbiosis. A symbiosis is a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms: Here the plant and the bacteria.
These special bacteria will transform the leavings of the fish into nutrients. This way maintaining your aquarium will be very easy, because the bacteria will eat the dirt and you don't have to clean it. No need to clean the substrate from the leavings of the fish. And there will never be an overdoses of nutrients in the water.
And there is hardly any algea, because there are no extra nutrients in the water. All nutrients are stored with the bacteria in the substrate, close to the plant roots. Whenever the plant needs nutrients, it can simply reach for it.
